Nothing but Dreams by Unsung Heroine

Fanwork Notes

While this story may more or less stand alone it probably works better when knowing What Remains Untold in which I first explored my idea of the Haleth/Caranthir relationship. Since his story is currently under heavy revision I'm not going to post it here for now. If you should be interested in the old, raw version nonetheless, you can find it on my ff.net page here: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2169326/1/

This is very poignant.  You have captured his guilt at trusting the traitor well, and his keen sense of the loss of his land is so very, very elvish.  The vague, dream-like quality is enhanced because he never identifies which of his brothers is looking out for him.  It could be any of them. 

Thanks so much, I'm glad you enjoyed this! Even more so because - for the fear of sounding pretentious - it's probably my masterpiece favourite among all I've written until now (which reminds me, I really need to become a bit more productive again... oh well). So it makes me quite, quite happy to hear it worked for you. :)

Thanks,

UH :)
